No one in Seoul could soothe his loneliness. Even leaving the city seemed to change his mind.

The next day, we ate haejangguk and headed to the terminal.

While Kim Deok-myeong went up to Seoul, Jeong Gil-san’s house had a cold atmosphere. It was because of the youngest daughter, Jeong Ga-hee, who returned from Sangju.

Her mother was living in Seoul to care for her grandchildren. In the spacious house, only the father and the youngest daughter ate dinner with awkward expressions.

It was after she said that she would not write a novel that the couple had a breakup. Jung Gil-san wanted her to become a novelist.

Jeong Ga-hee opened her mouth while eating.

“What if you made a promise to your father, Deok-myeong?”

“Did he even tell you?”

“Is that important? And why do you blame someone else for being mad at me?”

“I didn’t get angry with him. We just made a deal.”

He thought he had made a fair deal. It was none other than Kim Deok-myeong who proposed the deal.

I thought it would never happen, but if Kim Deok-myeong could solve the chronic problems of the orchard, I would like to fulfill the promise.

“Then keep your promise. The promise of the deal my father said.”

Jeong Gil-san was a quick-witted person. I realized that Kim Deok-myung did not say unnecessary things to his daughter.

“Don’t keep your promise. But what are you going to do next?”

“I intend to stay here for a while.”

“What are you planning to do here?”

she was silent

In the corner of my heart, I was looking forward to working with Kim Deok-myeong.

I took the bus to Hadong with Minseok. On the bus, I explained a part I hadn’t told you yesterday.

I took it out of building the site right away. It was a small shopping mall. However, by the standards of the time, it was not a formidable specification.

It didn’t seem to matter to him. It was a look full of enthusiasm that I had not seen in a long time. When he spoke one, he understood two or three at the same time.

It felt like working with a long-time partner.

First, I had to sell the damaged fruit from the orchard at Jeonggilsan Mountain. The site had to come out as soon as possible.

I asked him about the deadline for building the site.

“How long will it take?”

“Does it depend on what you want?”

“What do you mean?”

“Will it be perfect from the start? at least.”

“First and foremost.”

Due to the nature of the site, constant maintenance was required. It didn’t matter if I added only the necessary functions and opened it.

“OK. I received it.”

As soon as we arrived at the country house, the construction of the shopping mall began.

The parents cared as much as possible for their hard-working children.

Even late at night, my mother took care of me.

“Aren’t you going to eat?”

“Wait. Just finish this.”

It didn’t end even when dawn came for a while.

Eating and sleeping in the morning has become a daily routine.

“While you build the site, I will do the design work.”

“But is this freedom?”

to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing

Minseok asked with an absurd expression.

“Is it freedom to not even give you time to sleep? Total slavery.”

“Understand me. Because I have some work to do before I get my freedom.”

“Kim Deok-myeong, I thought you’ve changed a bit, but it’s still the same as before. Same.”

Although he struggled, Minseok worked hard. I also had a lot of work to do while he was building the site.

I had to work on keywords as well as design.

It was a time when there was no concept of keyword advertising on the nation’s No. 1 portal site yet. It was surprising to find that when you search for a specific word in the search bar, it appears.

I did that strange and amazing work without a break. I took pictures of eight orchards in an orchard and posted them on the Internet.

Now, if you search for a scratched fruit with a search term, you will be able to find it. Even when I searched for ways to buy fruits cheaply, the information I made was caught.

The site wasn’t even open yet. First of all, I was thinking of running it as a test.

After a week, the comments started running.

-I am willing to purchase the scratched apples you posted.

He didn’t even write about selling fruits. They only saw the contents and expressed their intention to purchase.

Now was the time to open the site.

Chuseok was approaching soon.

gain trust

“Now the site can be opened at any time.”

“Then let’s make D-Day tonight.”

There were dark circles on Minseok’s face. I wasn’t like that either. I had no idea how time had passed. I think I slept about three hours a day.

From the day we arrived, we worked all night for over a fortnight.

– Farmer from Jirisan, I would like to purchase a scratched apple.

– Farmer from Jirisan, I would like to purchase a scratched pear.

The blog was flooded with comments. I expected it, but I didn’t know it would be this good. Small blemishes were not a problem.

So many people were looking for seasonal fruits.

Human psychology is diverse. Not everyone wanted a fruit without a single cut that looked good. Although there are scratches, there are no other problems, and if the price is cheap, there are people who choose it.

Sometimes that diversity creates new markets.

I was opening up a new niche of scratched fruit.

* * *

I visited the CEO of Gilsan Jeong Orchard. He was selling fruit to a wholesaler. A truck loaded with pears and apples blew the dust away.

It was only then that I was able to face CEO Jeong Gil-san. I previewed the box left in the corner of the orchard.

All were bruised fruits.

“Even so, I was waiting for you to come.”

“Is this all?”

Items were smaller than expected. He looked embarrassed by my attitude.

“This year, there were fewer scratches than I expected.”

“About how much do you pass?”

I was aware that the price varies from year to year.

“This year, it’s 30,000 won based on 10 kg.”

It was an approximate price. It wasn’t the exact price. He didn’t know how much it would cost when it went to the end consumer.

This is because agricultural products go through a complex distribution process.

The prices of fruits sold wholesale varied from time to time. The price fluctuates according to the taste of middlemen.

There were also mean middlemen in the market who earned higher margins than sweaty farmers.

For direct transactions through the Internet, the tyranny of middlemen was not applied.

Even with scratches, I was able to get a better price than the wholesale fruit.

“I will sell it for that price.”

“Is that really true?”

He looked like he couldn’t believe what I was saying.

“As I said then, the brokerage fee I take is 20% of the net income.”

“I know.”

For a box of fruit worth 30,000 won, I could get a commission of 6,000 won.

Even with apples and pears combined, it looked a little over two hundred boxes.

I was disappointed that there were less items than I expected.

I informed Jeong Gil-san about the delivery procedure. It was because it would be a speed battle if the site was opened immediately.

Everything had to be done quickly.

“I pierced the post office parcel. They will come to pick up your items on a set day. The representative just needs to prepare for the packaging work.”

I was prepared for that kind of work. I could have just sold things like a yumchee.

It may be good in the short term, but it is not a good choice in the long term.

“If you do that, I’m fine too.”

“Then I wish you all the best in the future.”

I nodded to him and walked out. The way Jung Gil-san looked at me seemed different.

On the way out, I met Kahi. It was like going back to shopping.

“Kim Deok-myung. you look at me.”

She grabbed my wrist and headed towards a quiet place. It was a sad expression on her face, but it conveyed a feeling of gladness.

“Now tell me about this.”

She loosened her grip on her wrist.

“When did you come down from Seoul?”

“Has it been a day or two?”

I knew but pretended not to know.

“It’s been over a month already.”

“Time goes so fast.”

She glared at me with wide open eyes. After all, she also had a quest. Now is the time for the daughter of Jeong Gilsan Orchard to step forward.

“I still have something to tell you.”

A twinkle flashed in her eyes.

“What?”

“I will be busy soon. then please help me It’s also the work of an orchard at Jeong Gil-san.”

“yes! yes! We do it as a squad.”

She replied with an exaggerated tone. It was a face that he didn’t like, but consent was consent.

Hands were needed to pack the fruit. You might need her help from tonight.

That evening, I opened a site called Jirisan Farmers.

It felt like a shopping mall selling agricultural products. It was the result of using a lot of pastel-toned green, which I like.

‘We provide clean and fresh agricultural products from Mt. Jirisan.’

Although they sold only apples and pears. It was also a scratched product.

Still, it felt cool. It was thanks to its modern design and simple user experience. The image of a fruit that makes you feel good just by looking at it and the simple but clear phrase caught my eye.

It was also effective that I laid the ground rice. The reason for the scratches was that in most cases, bruises occurred during the selection of apples or pears. It wasn’t sick or rotten.

The details are explained in detail with pictures.

Not only on the website, but also on the blog, as if to display the contents. It was in preparation for any possible complications.

“As soon as it opens, people buy things.”

“This is the result of preparation in advance.”

It was possible because there were customers waiting to purchase. All of them were previously mentioned customers.

to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing

Most of them communicated using comments or bulletin boards. It wasn’t a huge number, but it was encouraging.

“Isn’t the function to write a review finished yet?”

“I work 120 hours a week.”

Unlike the homepage, the site was able to manage buyers such as membership registration. It looks like nothing, but the rear end is large.

There was also a payment system. Not only bankbook transactions, but also account transfers were possible.

Other functions were first kept to a minimum. So there was no function to write a review yet.

“After that, I’ll give you a good rest.”

“I don’t need freedom anymore. Please let me sleep.”

to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing

Minseok said with pathetic eyes. He originally liked to overwork his body and go to the extreme. It was his own way to forget the depression.

Ironically, it sounded pleasant to hear that he couldn’t do it because it was hard.

“sorry. Still, the review function is a must.”

“As I said before, I’ll just put this on and take a break. must!”

“Okay. I will guarantee you a rest.”

I was acting like a vicious business owner, but there was nothing I could do. Because things were on sale. As long as the product began to sell, the review function was unconditional.

Better to have bad reviews.

That was the way to survive online.

* * *

I loaded the box into the truck and went to the Jeonggilsan Orchard. It was a box with a phrase I designed.

I had to be involved in everything. From the site design to the design, I had to get my hands on it from delivery to delivery.

It was expected from the beginning. That’s why you need people you can trust.

One of them was waiting for me.

Kahi, who was waiting for me in the warehouse, grumbled as soon as she saw me.

“what? Are you calling someone in the middle of the night?”

“The delivery will start from tomorrow. I can’t help it.”

She only frowned for a moment, but soon concentrated on her work. Because I know how I work.

“The Jirisan farmer can be trusted.”

Gahee smiled as she read the words on the box.

“Did you make up this phrase?”

“right. And these are the lists for tomorrow’s delivery. It has to be properly packaged.”

I gave her the list. The post office courier only picks up items. Nevertheless, I decided that the post office was relatively better.

The big carriers have not yet received the goods from the smaller ones. In order to deliver as safely as possible, we chose a courier service at the post office.

“Have you already sold so many?”

“It’s only 50 boxes.”

“It’s only. You received your order as soon as it opened.”

As she said, I couldn’t just say it. But it was not allowed to be hasty. I couldn’t be bothered until the very end.

We put the fruit in the box and packed it.

It was all done by hand.

“Oh, and if you need money, just tell me. Because I’m counting everything I’m working on.”

“Calculation?”

She made a bewildered look.

I didn’t want free work from anyone. I was going to give everyone who worked with me their money. I believed this was the way to become a rich farmer.

I told her about it for the first time.

“First of all, when this project is over, I will settle the account. Let me know if you need money before then. I’ll give it to you anytime.”

“You are like a boss. It’s also an evil evil owner.”

“It doesn’t matter what you say. Because work is work.”

Even though they were friends, I wanted to protect what I wanted to protect. He kept a record of the days and hours Min-seok worked. It was also my job to take care of them.

With her help, the packing work went smoothly. Now, all that remains is to collect the delivery vehicle tomorrow.

Reviews from consumers who received the product continued.

-Huh, it’s a really scratched pear. so fine Awesome value.

-Small scratches have no effect on taste. dig a lot

– The quality is good enough to be served on a table on Chuseok.

-There are a lot of places that sell it as a good product, but I like it because it’s honest.

Reviews started to pile up. I added a thank you reply to each review.

50 boxes quickly grew to 100 boxes.

The scratched apples and pears at Janggilsan Farm were sold out within three days.

There were about 200 bruised fruits from his orchard. Coincidentally, the percentage of defectives was almost the same.

It was a bag of apples and a bag of pears.

I expected it to take a week, but it was sooner than I expected.

I went to Jeong Gil-san.

“Old man, as you said, we sold all the damaged fruits.”

“I was wrong. I misunderstood you.”

he said at the outset.

“What are you talking about?”

“It means you haven’t read the flow of the times. I never thought the internet would become a new selling point. You are really great.”

“It is a word of exaltation.”
